Men on here are contradictory

Men: “We have such low standards, yet women have high standards!”

Also men: “I would never date a fat woman, single mothers, women with high body counts, women who wear a lot of makeup, women who have plastic surgery, women who are feminists, or women over 30 - they’re unattractive and have less value.”

That’s a huge portion of the female population for men to exclude while claiming they have low standards.

Edit: Posting memes about how women over 30 are desperate and “expired” really shows how high men’s standards are.

Evidence:

• Men, on average, tend to prefer younger women, and perceived youth is linked to attractiveness
• These patterns show up across cultures and studies, not just one paper

"These studies have found that a low waist to hip ratio (WHR) of approximately 0.7 [9] and a low Body Mass Index (BMI; weight scaled for height) of approximately 18–19 kg/m² [10] are perceived as most attractive in female bodies"

Which shows that men prefer women who are borderline underweight, compared to the general female population, which is typically in the average or overweight BMI range.

Men were shown to pay prostitutes significantly less if the prostitute was more experienced, suggesting that men have an aversion to higher body counts.
